"The second engineering building completed in June, 1907, was the finest building on the grounds at the time. The material used was stone for the basement story and paving brick above. The interior is mill-proof construction with maple floors and oak finishings. It is 182 by 84 feet in size, with an extension on the rear of 47x37 feet. The basement is nearly all above ground and answers splendidly for laboratory purposes. The fifth story, counting the basement as the first, is used mainly for drawing rooms, on account of the excellent lighting made possible by the skylights in the roof. The building contains more than forty laboratories and recitation rooms, besides offices, storage, toilet, and other small rooms. It is occupied by the departments of mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering; also for drawing and physics, and was fully occupied from he start. This building is located between Wells Hall and the first, or old, mechanical building, and cost $100,000."[1][2]
